A Barnstable resident is needed to serve as the town’s member of the Barnstable County Human Rights Commission’s Representation Council.

The commission was created in 2005 to promote and protect the basic human rights of all persons in Barnstable County. The 16-member representation council is made up of appointees from each of the Cape’s 15 towns and one from the Wampanoag Tribe. Members serve as liaisons between the commission and their towns. They work within their communities to support the county’s human rights and discrimination policy, and to advise the commission. The representation council meets at least quarterly.

Anyone interested is encouraged to contact Linda Wheelden in the Barnstable Town Manager’s Office, 508-862-4610. The town manager makes the appointment.
